... to the moon and back

"Are you for real?" with tears in her eyes. Louis didn't know how to react to her words and came up with weird expressions on his face.

'I liked you from the start, " he whispered to her while maintaining eye contact with her. Both of them got emotional at that moment.

There were few moments of silence as they got so lost in the eyes of each other. Breaking the silence! Louis broke the eye contact and looked at the moon because he thought it was getting awkward.

As he turned his face towards the direction of the moon, Lisa smiled and pecked one of his cheeks. With a surprised expression, he looked at her with a confused look over his face and blushed a little. She could see his cheeks getting red as a tomato. She chuckled secretly.

" What was that for? " he whispered with a blushing face and avoiding eye contact with her. She pulled his face towards her to make eye contact again with her hand and said, "I found you so cute so, I wanted to kiss you for looking so cute," those words of her made him hide his face with his hands as a newlywed bride do. She chuckled at him and asked him to take his hands off. But he was feeling shy so, she took his hands from his face. Staring at him for a minute, he whispered, "Aren't you going to say anything in return?" shyness could be seen on his face after she pecked his cheek.

"What do you think I kissed you to reject your confession?" sea said to him while raising one of her eyebrows.

"I am so dumb to understand that so, I want you to make it clear by saying it," he said, pretending not to guess her actions.

For a few seconds, she just looked at his face and passed a smile to him. Without wasting any second of a time she stood on toes and hugged him very tightly. He was taken aback by her. Without thinking twice, he moved his hands on her waist and pulled her up. She laughed at his doing and tapped on his shoulder, asking him to put her down but she didn't let go of her hand around his neck.

Her words took him by surprise when he heard those words. He couldn't believe that she just confessed to him too.

"I LOVE YOU TOO," she expressed with love. He pulled back from the hug and looked at her face with a shocking expression. She giggled and hide her face in his chest.

"Say those words again!" he couldn't believe her words and asked how to rehearse herself.

she took a glance at him and said, " I don't love you," while teasing him.

"Oh please Lisa, I don't tease me," he said annoyingly to her. Looking at his baby face she laughed and squeezed his cheeks as if she was having a baby in front of her.

"Ouch," he whimpered.

After kissing his other cheek. She said, " I said I love you too."

"Say that again!"

"I love you too,"

"Again!"

"I love you my childhood ghost,"

"What?"

This time, she didn't say anything to him and crossed her hands over her chest in disappointment. While he passed a questionable look towards her.

"Did you even say it for once? And you are asking me to say it repeatedly, huh?" she explained sadly.

"So, do you want me to say it? " he asked while admiring her face and pulling few threads of her hair back from her face.

"Don't you want to say it?" she raised the question to him back.

"Umm okay," he paused for a while as if he was going to utter those beautiful words to her but instead of saying that he asked again, "Do you want me to say those words? I doubt that I would end up saying it in a more romantic way tha you," he shrugged, also teased her and laughed.

"Argh,"

"Are you gonna say it or not otherwise I'm going back to the car?" she expressed with a cold expression on her face. For a while, he didn't say anything which made Lisa feel irritated and took some steps in opposite direction. But he was strong enough to pull her back by her hand. He pulled her towards himself, Lisa was shocked by that and looked at him with her mouth open. But after she stared at him with patience, waiting for those words from him. Soon he connected his lips with hers. It was unexpected to her but she gave in and kissed him back, they both smile while kissing. After a good time, she broke the kiss and looked at his face to hear him saying those words for which he made her wait for so long.

"I LOVE YOU LISA TO THE MOON AND BACK," finally letting out those words from his mouth, for whom she was growing impatient. A beautiful smile crept on her face. "Are you satisfy?" he asked.

"Not much!" she said in a baby voice to him and laid down her head on his shoulder, while he caressed the same.

Adoring the beautiful moment of love, they both stayed silent and looked at the moon.

"If you loved me then why you tried to distance yourself from me?" he asked out of a sudden.

She looked at him while moving her gaze up.

"I didn't know that you also liked me the way I did and thought that you liked me as your friend," she let go of the misunderstanding.

He lifted his eyebrows in confusion, "But you should have asked me first?" he said.

"I know but I thought that I would get rejected by you," she said and closed her eyes.

It was midnight but none of them thought of going back to their house. But after some time together, she opened her eyes and felt something in her hand. As she looked down to see what was it, time caught her attention.

"Oh shit," she mumbled and got up from there which made him flinch.

"What happened?" he asked in a worried tone.

"It's midnight and mom would be waiting for me. Let's go now," she said and tried to make him get up from sitting position.

"Okay," he said and both of them made their way towards the place where the car was parked.

They got in and he started the engine. The whole drive was silent as she was worried about her mother, who would be waiting for her. She searched for her and found that it was out of battery. She cursed herself while he tried to make her feel relax and held her hand.

"Drive fast," she asked him.

After 40 minutes approx, they reached the entrance of her house. Hurriedly, she took off her seat belt and opened the door. He didn't say anything to her because of how worried she was for her mother, it could be seen on her face, and if he tried to say something it would be a waste. She bid bye to him and took steps towards the entrance door. She knocked but no one came to open the door. She got worried and knocked again but she noticed that the door was left unlocked by her. She entered inside and made her way to the living room, where she saw her mother.
